Carnivˆle

i absolutely love this show. its almost stopping my heartbreak for six feet under (another show that i adored). i think that it maybe one of the best series that hbo has come up with, well its definitely up there on the top five list.
so do any you like it or do you loathe it ?
im curious to know what others think of something that i think is better than sliced bread itself.
?

i started a thread on this a while back. i'm lovin it. last night's episode was great. gah but it ended to soon i wanna know what the shit happens to ben!

I'm hooked. Sunday night is the only night I watch tv and I'm glad this show is on. I don't know where it's going but I love the tone & style.

Totally wicked awesome show. I totally know how your feeling about the Six Feet Under heartbreak, but Carnivale can definatly hold me over until my next fix...

Yeah, fuck you guys with your HBO and your TV. I want to see this show so bad it makes me poop, but I don't have HBO, and so I can't watch it. My aunt won't even tape it for me, because she thinks it's bad.

Dammit.

yeah, i know! and what was up with those creepy townsfolk/miner people? *sigh* so many questions... and we have to wait a week to even start to find out what the hell is going on

well if you're intarweb savvy, i know all the eps so far have been ripped and are available out there on the wired. good luck.

I watched the first episode, but it just seemed like a heapload of pretentiousness.

I absolutely adore the opening credits, though im usually busy doing work for classes monday so i can't really get into the show enough to get whats going on

Nothing ever really happens, but I can't not watch it every week, Hopefully it's building up to something.

They show it again on HBO2 on monday night if that helps you any.

What's it about? A depression era traveling carnival. It's wonderful, the color and the score, the costumes.. all make you feel poor and dirty. While the plot is just so out-there(supernatural) and funny and historical. It's like a cross between Twin Peaks and The Grapes of Wrath. Just watch it.

It's pretty much a story of good vs.evil but it's really fucked up and wonderful. Definately worth checking out.

I wish it was a little less slow. The exposition crawls along at a snail's pace. I still enjoy it, though. It's very pretty to look at, and I love, love, LOVE Clea DuVall to pieces.

Love,

Haven't seen it yet, but since I don't have HBO or time to watch tv I think I'll just wait till it comes out on DVD. Seems like it's got a great cast though.

i dont think its very slow at all, you just have to look for the little clues they give away each week. i really want to know who killed one of the dancing sisters ...?
im thinking the scotish guy ?
hmmmm
anyway. i still wish six feet under was back already :/
clair is so much like my sister its untrue !
come back the fisher family
*wipes eye*

A good way to get me to watch anything is to put Clancy Brown in it. I love that guy. He plays the Reverend, Justin.

I love the "Grapes of Wrath" meets Stephen King style of the show. It reminds me a lot of "the Stand."

I think dividing it up between the Carnivale and Justin kind've hurts the pacing of the show, and like someone else said if it was 2 hours instead of 1, that would certainly help. But the cast is so great. I don't think I've ever liked Nick Stahl in ANYTHING before, but he's exceptional in this. And Clea Duvall is awesome as well. I love the one sided conversations she has with her mother.

I too, think the bartender killed the dancer. I really dug him. I hope we see more of him.
